(Colorado Springs, Colo.) - A former Pan American Infantile Champion, 14-year-old Katelyn Bouyssou (Hope, R.I. / NYAC / Mayo Quanchi Judo Club) led the way for her U.S. National Infantile Teammates at the Hatashita International in Toronto over the weekend when she advanced to the finals in two divisions.

Bouyssou, the reigning Senior U.S. Open silver medalist, won the IJF-Junior 48kg division for athletes under 20-years-old and placed second in the senior 48kg division with her only loss coming to former Paris Super World Cup silver medalist Isabel Latulippe (CAN).

Bouyssou was one of six U.S. players to win gold medals at the tournament while 17 athletes on the 22-person team won medals overall.

Fourteen-year-old Mindy Chow (Honolulu, Hawaii / Hawaii Tenri) also competed against older players, winning the U17 Juvenile 52kg division less than two months after winning a silver medal at the Senior U.S. Open as well.
